Usually Autumn is brief here, but this year has been strangely warm, and so at the beginning of November, when I would expect there not to be a single leaf left anywhere, I found myself with the chance to photograph a new design outside.

I'm so pleased to announce that there will be a Crochet-a-Long (CAL) for the Seaglass Shawl. If you've never taken part in one, they are such fun; You basically get to crochet along with a bunch of virtual friends, sharing progress update photos, swapping tips and...

Light and drapey, versatile and cosy - the Seaglass Shawl has it all. As fun to make as it is to wear, the main body of this triangular shawl works up quickly in easy TC filet stitch. It then moves into a section of beautiful, colourful mixed stitches, and is finished off with a delicate picot edge. And... there are kits!

Floss feels light as feather yet gives incredible warmth - the perfect antidote to winter’s heavy layers.This scarf was designed to use up small leftovers of beautiful alpaca silk and mohair yarn. It combines them into a captivating stitch pattern - a bit of lace, some mindless panels of dc, ombre-effect colour changes using linen stitch - to ensure Floss is as fun to make as it is lovely to wear.
